Product Description

Quick wit, slapstick comedy, excellent puppets and puppetry conceived by Jim Henson, an astounding array of guest stars, and a whole lot of backstage chaos made The Muppet Show a favorite family show for a whole generation in the mid to late 1970's and those same ingredients make it equally enjoyable for today's audiences. The 24 episodes of this second 1976 season of The Muppet Show represent the family variety show at its strongest, with familiar characters like host Kermit the Frog, his assistant Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Rolph the piano playing dog, and regular segments like "Pigs in Space," "Veterinarian's Hospital," "Swedish chef," and "At the Dance." Intermingled throughout are silliness, skits, and songs featuring an impressive roster of guest stars including entertainment greats like Judy Collins, Don Knotts, Bernadette Peters, Dom Deluise, George Burns, John Clese, and Bob Hope. The hilarious predicaments of the Muppets and their guest stars are absolutely timeless and the look back in time at the earlier careers of enduring stars like Steve Martin, Julie Andrews and Elton John is equally fascinating. Highlights of this second season are Kermit's emotional ballad "It's Not Easy Being Green," Judy Collins classic rendition of "Send in the Clowns," the two old men's curmudgeonly and witty criticism of every show, Miss Piggy's determined and amorous pursuit of Kermit, and the Swedish Chef's bumbling inability to catch up with the chicken. Bonus features include the rare 1974 Muppets Valentine Special featuring a young Mia Farrow and a host of virtually unknown Muppet characters including the enormous blue monster, Thog. Also included is Muppets' music video of "Keep Fishin'," and interview footage of "The Muppets on the Muppets." Whether reliving childhood evenings spent with family around the television or experiencing The Muppet Show for the first time, viewers of all ages will adore this second season. --Tami Horiuchi

 A wonderful family program February 5, 2010
Luigi Giordano
The Muppet Show is one of the greatest TV shows ever put out. It's fun for all ages and you'll want to watch these episodes over and over, and don't forget to watch them with your kids and and grandkids. Love these shows.
You CAN buy happiness! :) January 9, 2010

The Muppet Show was de rigeur entertainment for my family. I have so many fond memories of gathering with my sister, dad and grandparents once a week to watch the show. I was pretty bummed when it went off-air! As the years passed, I started searching for video copies of the series and they were rather pricey. Well, the prices have fallen (a little over fifteen dollars is a HUGE bargain for this 4-DVD set) so I finally decided to treat myself. I have had SO much fun watching the episodes back-to-back with my 2 year-old! What a treat it is to see him dancing to the theme song, enjoying his Mommy's all-time favorite show! And my sister is jealous. I think I'm going to surprise her with her own copy. That was the best [...] I ever spent! Not only do I get to watch the shows that I remember, I also get the bonus of being carried back to Nan and Pop's basement, sitting next to the fireplace and laughing with the people I loved so dearly! I intend to carry on the tradition with my son, too. You can't put a price on that.
I was sorry to read another customer's review that said the DVD set is lacking closed captioning for the hearing-impaired. I hope that Disney will be made aware of their shortfall and make it the necessary adjustments. Other than this detail, I can't think of anything to complain about. I would absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend it!

Muppet's Season 2 was a gift for a grandchild and he was very happy with his gift. Also shipping was prompt.

It was wonderful to find this collection. My daughter (10) gets as much enjoyment from these as I do. I grew up with the muppets, and finding the entire 2nd season was wonderful.
And let's face it, would you rather watch The Muppets, or what passes for pre teen TV nowadays?
